kinda, to progress in science contradiction or anomaoly. QM predictes all outcomes. If a electron for example moved or behaved strongly it could be dismissed, because QM states that there was a chance that could happen. I think where on the right track just sort of mess up. But hey it happens all the time.

Quote
Look to this day!
For it is life, the very life of life.
In its brief course
Lie all the truths and realities of existence:

The joy of growth,
The splendor of action,
The glory of power.

For yesterday is but a memory,
And tomorrow is only a vision;
But today, well lived, makes every yesterday
a memory of happiness,
And every tomorrow a vision of hope.
Look well, therefore, to this day!
-- Kālidāsa

Carpe diem!
Live for the moment, the day, for next year, for decades
Live for death and for misery
Live for joy and for love
Live for the good times and the bad

Look upon yesterday without shame, upon tomorrow without worry
Your life is but a story
Its opening incomplete
Its ending unwritten
So seize the pen
And write the ending
And write what in years shall become the opening
Weave a tale of beauty, of sorrow, of passion, of disenchantment,

Leave no loose ends,
No stone unturned
For in lives of infinite possibilities,
In a universe of boundless opportunities,
We must leave a story of closure, fulfillment

So when you finally drop the pen,
And your hand is firmly closed
Let it be around a loved one's
Ensure they'll never forget
You lived a life to be proud of
A life of no regret

Quote from: The Sound of Drums, Dr. Who
The Doctor: What was his policy? What did he stand for?
Martha: I dunno, he always sounded... good. Like you could trust him. Just nice. He spoke about... I can't really remember, but it was good. Just the sound of his voice.

Quote from: The Age of Steel, Dr. Who
The Doctor: The human race. For such an intelligent lot, you aren't half susceptible. Give anyone a chance to take control, and you submit! Sometimes I think you like it. An easy life.

Quote from:  C.S. Lewis, Surprised by Joy
Enough had been thought, and said, and felt, and imagined. It was about time that something should be done.

Quote from:  C.S. Lewis, On Living in an Atomic Age
If we are going to be destroyed by an atomic bomb, let that bomb when it comes find us doing sensible and human things -- praying, working, teaching, reading, listening to music, bathing the children, playing tennis, chatting to our friends over a pint and a game of darts -- not huddled together like frightened sheep and thinking about bombs. They might break our bodies (a microbe can do that) but they need not dominate our minds.

Here's one from Carl Sagan, courtesy of Cosmos:

"Intellectual brilliance is no guarantee against being dead wrong."

Possibly referring to Ptolemy; I forget exactly where it was used.

“You have at your command the wisdom of the ages.”

~ Fortune Cookie

Quote
“Other evils there are that may come.... Yet it is not our part to master all the tides of the world, but to do what is in us for the succor of those years wherein we are set, uprooting the evil in the fields that we know, so that those who live after may have clean earth to till. What weather they shall have is not ours to rule.”

~ Gandalf the White

“The truth will set you free. But first, it will piss you off.”

With or without religion, you would have good people doing good things and evil people doing evil things. But for good people to do evil things, that takes religion.

Infamously, WordPerfect used F3 instead of F1 for Help, F1 instead of Esc for Cancel, and Esc for Repeat.

Quote
How baffling it was that even the most cunning and clever people would frequently see only what they wanted to see, and would rarely look beyond the thinnest of facades. Or they would ignore reality, dismissing it as the facade. And then, when their whole world fell to pieces and they were on their knees slitting their bellies or cutting their throats, or cast out into the freezing world, they would tear their topknots or rend their clothes and bewail their karma, blaming gods or kami or luck or their lord or husbands or vassals -- anything or anyone -- but never themselves. So very strange.

While a wonderful quote, ol Poor Richard seemed to have a rather bleak outlook on government. After all, how does giving up our liberty to construct privately owned and maintained veins of commerce (aka, interstate roads) in favor of the security of knowing that all such roads will be of a set quality harm either our liberty or that security?

Quote from: Jayne
You know what the chain of command is? It's the chain I go get and beat you with 'til you understand who's in ruttin' command here!

Quote from: Mal
My work's illegal, but at least it's honest.

Quote from: Mal
Nothing worse than a monster who thinks he's right with God.

Quote from: Wash
Can I make a suggestion that doesn't involve killing anybody, or is this the wrong crowd?

Quote from: Mal
This report is maybe twelve years old. Parliament buried it, and it stayed buried till River dug it up. This is what they feared she knew. And they were right to fear because there’s a whole universe of folk who are gonna know it, too. They’re gonna see it. Somebody has to speak for these people. You all got on this boat for different reasons, but you all come to the same place. So now I’m asking more of you than I have before. Maybe all. Sure as I know anything I know this, they will try again. Maybe on another world, maybe on this very ground swept clean. A year from now, ten, they’ll swing back to the belief that they can make people…better. And I do not hold to that. So no more running. I aim to misbehave.
